""I don't like the drive at all," Harbaugh said. "Looking back, would I rather have had Derrick starting the drive? Yes. But Derrick was kind of ready for Keaton to start that drive. And then he was planning on coming in next. So, they were working that rotation.""
""We've been doing a rotation for I don't know how many weeks," Henry explained after the game. "Keaton has been doing a great job in the run game, and we are both in there doing the best we can. We have a lot of good players, so everybody has to get their touches and get opportunities, and Keaton is deserving of it.""
Derrick Henry dominated early, rushing 18 times for 128 yards and scoring a touchdown with 12:50 remaining to give Baltimore a 24-13 lead. Henry did not touch the ball again and sat the final two drives, including the last drive after the Patriots took the lead. Coach John Harbaugh explained the decision as part of a planned rotation with Keaton Mitchell and admitted he would have preferred Henry to start that final drive. Henry affirmed the rotation, praised Mitchell's contributions, and expressed greater frustration about a first-half fumble, his fourth this season.
